Belgian officials expressed outrage Thursday after Israeli forces reportedly bombed the office building of the Belgian Agency for Development Cooperation in the Gaza Strip, an attack that came after Belgium declined to join the U.S. and more than a dozen other countries in cutting off funding to the United Nations’ Palestinian refugee agency.

The timing of the attack on the Belgian office building raised eyebrows, with observers pointing to the nation’s status as one of the handful of Western countries not suspending aid to the U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) in response to Israel’s allegation that a dozen of the agency’s employees took part in the October 7 attacks.

    Now you see? there’s no point in trying to convinc anybody on this topic.

    Any source I present is debunked in their echo chambers, and any source they present is debunked on my echo chambers.

    Each side believes in their truth and we are all too stubborn to budge.

    Only shout shout shout.

      You never responded to any of the points called out in the article you linked. You can’t post something, and be mad when no one “believes your truth”. If you do, you’re not asking to change people’s minds, you just want to shout into the void too.

        I’m not mad, not even surprised…

        I’m on Lemmy for the giggles and when a post on this subject comes up, I add some fule to the mix…

        I’m not trying to change minds. To each his own. I’m just (like you said) blabbering into the void.
